I love MAC's Prep + Prime line of products, but this primer was a bit too oily.. It does have a nice feel to it, but it causes too much slip and its hard to blend foundation. It had a bit too much slip. For dryer skin types, this would probably work best. It does give a nice shine but for my skin, it didnt work so well.. For the price, I would rather use the Smashbox or MUD primers.

Amazing color payoff for the price you pay! They are bigger than MAC eyeshadows, at half the price! They have many many different colors with different finishes. I would definetly use a primer though with these if you want that extra 'umph'!

I always have dry hands because I constantly have to wash and sanitize my hands being a makeup artist and it really took a toll on my skin. All the other hand creams Ive tried have always left me feeling like a dipped my hands in oil. This hand cream is not greasy AT ALL and it soaks in your hands within 3-5mins. You only need about a pea sized dollop of cream to cover your hands and it stays on throughout the day so its very longlasting! I noticed that it has also helped my cuticles! I have a habit of picking at the sides of my finger nails, and this really helps to rejuvenate the skin around my nails too. I have the unscented one and it really doesnt smell like anything, which for me is great because when Im doing makeup on a client, sometimes the smell can be bothersome. Awesome product!

This is a great, lightweight, non greasy formula that really does moisturize your skin! I love that the formula doesnt make you feel sticky at all, it just soaks into your skin so quickly and stays moisturized. For me, I put it on at night, and it lasts throughout the entire next day! I have the Sage and Lavender scented one which has a really nice soothing aroma thats very faint. Its also made with natural ingredients and its eco friendly, which is a big plus for me =) I would recommend this lotion for any skin type because its so lightweight but does the job!

I got this because I have been breaking out recently so I needed a gentle scrub for my face. This is definetly a gentle scrub! It doesnt contain too many grains in it so you dont get a harsh exfoliation out of it and it wont inflame your zits, which is nice. I think its gentle enough so you can use it everyday too! Smells really nice, a minty sort of scent and you dont need a lot. I use it about every other day. Its a bit pricy for a scrub and I really havent been able to tell if it helped with my pimples, but its still great to use just as a daily exfoliator.

I got this lipbalm because a fellow beauty blogger recommended it.. but it just wasnt moisturizing enough for me. I tend to get really dry lips that will sometimes peel because its so dry. The texture is nice, its kind of jelly like, and it has a slightly glossy finish. You need quite a bit to really get it on your lips because it applies just a thin layer. The smell is fantastic too! However, it only lasted about 1-2 hours on my lips and then my lips were dry again. So it comes off really easily and you need to reapply a lot throughout the day to keep your lips moist. It was 2 for $10 when I got it, but I think there are way better alternatives for around the same amount of money.

This is an awesome shampoo and for the price, you cant really go wrong. I dont have color treated hair, but this shampoo makes my hair so soft! I live in a humid climate also so my hair can tend to get frizzy and poofy, but this shampoo tames it down a lot and really makes my hair look healthy. They sell a conditioner also, but the shampoo is so great you really dont need a conditioner with this. Maybe just to condition every few days. It doesnt leave build up either and it smells great!

This is a really hard product to work with because its like an actual glue for your hair. Its a thick white paste with a glue like texture. Its really really sticky and it will stick to your fingers quickly if your not careful. It dries fast so you want to work it in quickly before it hardens. Once you get it on your hair, your hair will feel like you really put actual glue in your hair. Extreme hold and hard to get out, but lasts all day long, even in humidity!

This is good working spray... not necessarily a hairspray you would use if you wanted curls to hold. Its a great everyday hairspray because you dont get that hardness, so it definetly does what it claims, which is flexibile hold. Its not too great with humidity though, if you live in a humid climate or its summertime, it tends to make hair a little limp. Its easy to work with and the price is unbeatable. Great value!

This hairspray is good if you really want some hold, but it does leave you with a hard hat! The shine part was ok, it was a little shiny, but not as shiny as expected or claimed. I used it on two different hair types... for thick hair, it worked fine, but for thin and soft hair, it didnt do so well... This is a good spray to have if you just want an everyday hairspray. Its really really affordable and the spray comes with a lot of product.
